The Blacklist Season 6 Will Premiere with a Two-Hour Special

Friday

The Blacklist is moving to Fridays with a bang this January. NBC announced that the James Spader-led action drama's sixth season will premiere Friday, Jan. 4 with a two-hour special.

Following the Season 5 finale's shocking revelation that Raymond "Red" Reddington (Spader) isn't the real Red Reddington, Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) is torn between the relationship she's developed with the man she believed to be her father and her desire to get to the bottom of his years of secrets and lies. Meanwhile, Red leads Liz and the FBI to some of the most strange and dangerous Blacklist criminals yet, growing his empire and eliminating rivals in the process. All throughout, Liz and Red engage in an uneasy cat-and-mouse game in which lines will be crossed and the truth will be revealed.

The Blacklist premieres Friday, Jan. 4 at 8/7c on NBC. Subsequent episodes will air at 9/8c. Seasons 1-5 are available to stream on Netflix.
